Caution! Due to inherent human biases, it may seem that reports on articles aligning with our views are crafted by opponents. Conversely, reports about articles that contradict our beliefs might seem to be authored by allies. However, such perceptions are likely to be incorrect. These impressions can be caused by the fact that in both scenarios, articles are subjected to critical evaluation.

Detected Manipulations & Suggested Changes

Sensationalism

The article uses sensational language to exaggerate the comparison between Victor Wembanyama and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

After extensive research by osmosis, and two preseason games, I’m ready to declare Victor Wembanyama the next Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Avoid using exaggerated language and make a more balanced comparison between the two players.

Biased language

The article uses biased language to favor Victor Wembanyama and present him in a positive light.

Both are 7-foot-a-million, generational big men who were beyond coveted coming into the draft and project to be not only the best player in the league, but perhaps its leading scorer as well.

Use neutral language to describe the players and avoid making unfounded projections.

Cherry-picking data

The article selectively highlights positive statistics of Victor Wembanyama's preseason performance to support the comparison with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Wembanyama has 43 points in 42 minutes of preseason action on 18-of-28 from the field (64 percent!).

Provide a more comprehensive analysis of Victor Wembanyama's performance, including both positive and negative aspects.

Appeal to authority

The article appeals to the authority of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to support the comparison with Victor Wembanyama.

Kareem lasted 20 seasons because he was lightyears ahead of his peers as far as body preservation, famously practicing yoga, and he didn’t have to jam 7-foot centers under the hoop to score.

Avoid relying solely on the authority of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and provide more evidence to support the comparison.
